New recipe ideas for a brittle Diabetic?
You are basically on a very low carbohydrate diet as protein mostly meat, fish, fresh salads ( love my fresh homegrown tomatoes in salad) limited salad dressings made with no sugar or sugar substitute and green veggies some limited fruit like an occasional pear no bread of any kind ,no beans ,no rice ,no pasta, no potatoes no corn or corn products no barley no sugar pretty much nothing white What I cannot understand is why not any tomato sauce ?? Tomatoes are low in sugar very low in calories and has many health benefits actually they are a fruit and they are much lower in sugar then any fruit If you are allowed to eat fruit why can't you eat tomato sauce? Do brittle diabetics have a reaction to tomato sauces? I don't understand why you can not have a occasional stuffed fresh tomato using low calorie mayo celery, minced no sugar sweet pickles minced and stuffed in a fresh tomato baked or boiled chicken make a great salad also or something made with a homemade tomato sauce like making stuffed cabbages using lean ground beef onions celery garlic minced garlic salt & pepper can chop up some of the cabbage and add that to the stuffing also add a can of pureed tomatoes with a pinch of sugar twin salt pepper a little garlic pinch cloves stirred in and poured over and baked I also make a greek lemon little chicken using fresh lemons an garlic and oregano and use seasoned and herbed canned tomatoes over that it is delicious How about a little fat and oils? Can you have that to improve the tastes a little? I brush my chicken breats liberally with oil and add some sailsalt& pepper and grill them so they are moist and not dry & tasteless On low carb diet fats and oils are not really restricted so i do not know wahy they are restricted for you IF fats do no mkae you lelels go up can you have some baked chicken using melted er ? Are they ok in moderation?.. I know many prepared tomato sauces and pasta sauce do have corn syrup or sugar in them just have to carefully read your labels you can type in brittle diabetic diet recipes in your home page search bar... hey, I just checked the back if the can of my 8 ounce tomato sauce 1/4 cup contains 20 calories 4 carbs and has no added corn syrup sugar or food starch but some other canned tomato sauces may have I guess I had better follow my own advice and do a little research on brittle diabetic diets LOL..... Apple cider vinegar seems to help diabetics so use vinegar & olive oil as your dresiing on your salads You have to be carfeul with beans. peas and lentils, so go easy on them they are chock full of carbs
